Lybrate-user my friend don't worry at all it is completely normal at your age. Kindly avoid hot and spicy beverages & gargle with warm saline water 4-5 times a day. Avoid eating very hard substances & pickles. It'll help. If the problem still persists after 3 days then kindly consult nearby dentist. Regards.

Hello Mr. Lybrate-user reasons for gum swelling can be many ranging from poor maintainence of oral hygiene, systemic diseases such as diabetes, consumption of specific medications, pregnancy, habits such as smoking, mouth breathing etc. Maintainence of oral hygiene by proper brushing and flossing regularly would solve most of the problems related to gum swelling and if it still persists it would be apt to visit a dentist and get a thorough cleaning done.

Oral leukoplakia (OL) is a white patch or plaque that cannot be rubbed off, cannot be characterized clinically or histologically as any other condition, and is not associated with any physical or chemical causative agent except tobacco. Therefore, a process of exclusion establishes the diagnosis of the disease. In general, the term leukoplakia implies only the clinical feature of a persistent, adherent white plaque; therefore, reserve the term for idiopathic lesions when investigations fail to reveal any cause. The term carries absolutely no histologic connotation, although, inevitably, some form of disturbance of the surface epithelium is characteristic.

Start taking more of juicy fruits & vegetables like orange, mousmis, lemon, tomatoes etc. One homoeopathic medicine - sul. A. 200 (liquid) - 1drop 4 times a day may be taken for four days till you consult an homoeopathic specialist.

Bala generally in this kind of situations there is lot of crowding in teeth.and due to crowding u r not able to clean d area properly ; although u r brushing it very well still u can't get d proper cleaning.and due to that calculus deposition occurs
that lead to gingivitis (pyrrhoea ).u need a oral prophylaxis as a first line of treatment.and then u can get permanent cure of d crowding with the help of orthodontic treatment.
thanx

You should consider getting a professional cleaning done by the dentist. This is just a gum disease and does NOT need any blood test or investigation. Clean your teeth. And maintain good hygiene habits at home.

Apply kenacort oral gel 0.1% over the ulcer 4 to 5 times a day. Most of the oral ulcers are recurring in nature, they remain for 5 to 8 days and heal by themselves. If the problem is very severe, you need to visit an oral medicine specialist for complete treatment.

Hi lybrate-user,
There could be two reasons behind the pain you are experiencing. Either you have a decayed tooth (not necessarily visible with naked eye) since a long time which is causing non-specific pain in the jaw, radiating to the ear; or you you have a hyper-mobile joint (temporomandibular joint- which connects lower jaw to the skull). In case of a decayed tooth, it is ,quite likely that you may have to undergo an RCT. However, in case of a problem with the joint, you may be required to take some muscle relaxants and adopt an soft-diet regime for a few days, to give the joint some rest.
Kindly consult me privately on Lybrate for more specific answers.
Take care.
